Farragut Primary School first- and second-graders, parents, teachers and staff turned out in force Tuesday morning, Aug. 8, for the first day of school, which was a half day for students.
Starting at 7 a.m., more than 1,000 students walked or came by car to the front entrance, while some arrived by bus. Volunteers, such as Jake “Papa” Kreis, Bobby Scott and even District 5 Board of Education representative Susan Horn, welcomed and helped students out of their vehicles.
The first day of school for kindergartners was Wednesday, Aug. 9, during a period when students arrived at staggered times from Aug. 9 through Monday, Aug. 21.
